I've long had a problem getting that video to work on mobile devices, but since upgrading to WP 3.6.1 I saw it has a built in html5 player. I am hoping to recreate the page at http://www.nadaav.com in wordpress.

Can anyone advise me therefore how to make the blank page I need. I only need it for the splash page - the rest of my site will remain the same. And I assume that I only need a blank page as I will be able to put the video and graphic in from within wordpress's page editor.

Ah yes so it's precisely that - how to code a custom page template that is completely blank that I am trying to work out.

I suppose the point is what is the minimum code required so a page shows as blank, aside from what I then put into it via WP page editor. (Not sure if that's the write term, but the part of WP where you write posts and page content etc).
